Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they return to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
